Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee gave a scathing criticism of President Obama and the recently negotiated Iran nuclear accord, saying it would bring the Israelis "to the door of the oven."

"This president's foreign policy is the most feckless in American history," Huckabee said Saturday in a Breitbart News interview that aired on a Sirius XM radio channel. "It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven."

In Breitbart's transcript of the interview, which Huckabee's campaign confirmed as accurate to CBS News, the former Fox News television host went on to call the deal "idiotic" and said that it "should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress."

Several Republican contenders for the White House have also denounced the nuclear agreement struck between the United States, six other world powers, and Iran. Huckabee's recent comments, however, have already drawn fire from Democrats for the "cavalier analogies" to the Holocaust.

"This rhetoric, while commonplace in today's Republican presidential primary, has no place in American politics," Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. "Cavalier analogies to the Holocaust are unacceptable. Mike Huckabee must apologize to the Jewish community and to the American people for this grossly irresponsible statement."

"The fact that they are getting between $500-540 million of taxpayer money is really a disgrace," Huckabee said. "It is disgusting to fund an organization like Planned Parenthood that chops up babies and sells the parts like parts to a Buick."
